> Gatekeeper’s role is to ensure that when users execute some code, that code meets the local system policy. The policy includes checks such as whether the code is validly signed and whether it has been tampered with in certain ways.

Weasel-word alert. I never thought I’d see the day when technologists would applaud the gradual death of general-purpose computing, but here we are.

At least we’ll be Safe™.
